Cheeses

THE PROCESS

Kevin and Norman milk before the sun comes up each day, and that very fresh milk becomes our Hannahbells®, Cloumage®, Charlotty, and mozzarella curd. Karl carefully pasteurizes our milk to protect its natural enzymes. He then adds imported cultures and natural or vegetable rennet at precise temperatures to achieve the creaminess he demands of the cheeses.

LOW AND SLOW

Hannahbells® , Cloumage® , and Charlotty are made using the oldest technique: letting the milk and culture do the work. No heat, no pressing, no hurrying. The flavor develops over four days for Cloumage® and ten for Hannahbells®. The Charlotty just keeps getting better and better with age. We import two forms of delicious edible mold from France that both protect the cheese and add to the complexity of the flavors. On Hannahbells® and Charlotty you can see exterior mold continuing to form, becoming more delicious. On Cloumage®, you just taste it…and taste it…and taste it…
